Anarchist Meeting and Threatening
3 ~ tp Speeches.

CINCINNATI, March S.-The Anti.
National Society of this city celebrated
the institution of the Paris Com
munes Of 184S aud 1871 last night.
About 1000 people, composed OF men
and women, crowded in the hall and
drank beer at the tables while the
programme was being performed.
The hall was decorated with a
profusion of red flags and notices
with red borders containing revolu-
tionary inscriptions. There were no
American flags in the hall. Most OF
those present were Germans and
many speak not word of English.
Tho leading speech was made by Mrs.
Parsons, wife Of the condemned Chi
cago anarchist. She was broad in her
utterances and the molly throng APP
plauded her sentiments. The only ma
tional air by the band was "Marseil
laise," and during the entire evening
there was not a remark or act to indi-
cate anything but the bitterest
hostility to American institutions.
Mrs. Parsons declared the authorities
would not dare to hang her husband
and associates, on account ofthe storm
of righteous Indignation which would
come from the people. The celebra-
ton was the largest the anarchists ev-
er held here.

STRANGE CAPERS.
The Eject OF Colorado's Rarefied Air
Upon Thin Blooded People.

Upon Thfn-Blooded People.
at is strange how some people are af-
fected by the light air and six thousand
feet altitude of Cheyenne, said police
man Bean in recent conversation, as
recorded in the Cheyenne SIN.
"A short time ago book agent
reached here from Denver. He was
rather a cadaverous-looking chat, who
didn't seem to pack around more blood
in his constitution than the law allows.
As the tram neared Cheyenne he began
to glare around the car as if he was
afraid somebody was going to slug him,
and when the news agent passed
through peddling some oranges he fair
ly yelled for them to take him away.
He was afraid of being killed. When he
reached here he got spells in the same
way, and had good deal of bother
in soothing him.
when he wasn't Eighty he told me
that he had often been troubled that way
when he reached any tolerably high
altitude. The last excitement brought
on fresh spell. learned afterward
that he never had any such attacks at
home. In my experience at the depot
here | have known of many people who
have been troubled in the same way.
This seems TO be especially true of
ladies, who grow worse until they begin
to descend the hill from Sherman to
Laramie City, and on inquiring from
the trainmen | learn that afterward
they go through all right "
"You remember that little fellow
from Nevada, who cut up such tan
trums at the depot here few months
ago?" asked the Judge.
The listener intimated that he hadn't
forgotten the circumstances.
well, that fellow began to show the
effect of the altitude as the train near
ed Cheyenne. BY the time he had
reached here he had barricaded him
self in the retiring-room and was about
to throw himself out OF the window
when the tranmen forced their way in
and caught him. He was sure some
body was going to kill him. | got him
away from the crowd and told him I'd
protect him, and finally got him quiet
ed down. The trainmen looked after
him until they began to descend from
Sherman, and soon afterward he SEEM
ed to be rs sane as anybody.
at was only few days later that ar
old lady on the train was taken in the
same way. She got it into her head
that a colored woman in the far end of
the car had foul designs upon her. I'm
til the train reached Cheyenne the I'M
fortunate daughter of Africa did not
dare move a muscle for fear of throw
ing the old lady into commissions. Cases
of this sort turn up often.
what sort of people seem to be
most affected that way?" was asked.
They are generally thn-blooded,
nervous people, who, if they are in fair
health, have got but little vitality back
of them, was the reply. Very nerv-
Gus old women are very often the
victims. A slight jar or shock sets
them to going, and then the depot
rustler has picnic on his hands and no
mistake. Their mania always assumes
the same phase-they always believe
somebody is going to kill them"

The County superintendent Bill.

AUSTIN, March S.-Thc bill forced
through the house yesterday morning
contains very little that is desirable. 1t
provides that counties may elect
county school superintendent, but
their pay is to be fixed by county
courts, and cannot exceed $1,000 per
annum. The counties exempted from
the district system, ninety-three in
number, may, within the discretion of
the county commissioners, abandon
the community system, and also that
to impose special taxes. School trus-
tees are to be elected in June instead
of in August. There is really no re-
form made in the school system, but
some very beneficial changes are made
in the existing laws and regulations.

which made his mouth look like steel
trap twisted out of plumb. His wife

half-famished wildcat, and no darkey

content herself with words only, how

ding haste I've completed his prepare

TOBACCO Is KING.
Prices Of all Grades Advance
Buyers and New Markets ciariks-
vile the Tobacco Centre.

1t Is gratifying to announce that the
Clarksville tobacco market is steadily
improving. Within the last two
weeks there has been an advance on
all grades from frosted Tugs up to the
finest shipping leafand the demand
is still increasing.
Buyers are now attending the sales
at the Exchange who never bought
tobacco here before, and GAINESVILLE
tobocco now find markets into which
it has never before been introduced.
Another feature of the market at
this time is this: the tobacco is
shipped away from GAINESVILLE as
soon as it is sold. Heretofore the
purchasers have in most instances
held the tobacco for an advances in
the market here, while now the de-
mand in foreign markets is so great
that prompt shipments are absolutely
necessary.
These are facts patent to any obser-
want man who understands the tobac-
co trade, and knowledge of these
facts gives renewed confidence to
both planters and buyers. We have
kept our readers posted on the out
look for tobacco since the opening of
the season and it gives us much
pleasure to know that the CHRoNI-
GLE has given substantial aid tn
many who needed the money and
whose labors entitle them to the
present good prices. We congratu-
late all parties on the brilliant sue
cess of the GAINESVILLE market.
